A woman and her adult son stand closely together indoors, smiling warmly at the camera. The older woman on the left has short brown hair and wears a black outfit with a patterned scarf. A person beside her has short curly hair and rests her hand affectionately on the older woman's shoulder. On the wall to their right hangs a framed portrait of what appears to be the same two individuals years earlier—an adult woman with short dark hair and a little girl wearing a white dress and a flower crown, posed together.
